Hello!


Welcome to DesignClass.

This site is dedicated to supporting pupils, students, teachers and parents with an interest in design, graphics, engineering, technology and craft.

DesignClass is created and run by Scott Hunter, based in Scotland, UK.

Whilst most of the content on this site is designed to help support technological education in Scotland, I hope that you will find the materials useful, wherever you come from.

What's new?

I used to have a long list of updates in this section. Well, no more. It made the page really messy and didn't show things that I really wanted. So, now the updates will be shown in the boxes below.

Want to help?


This site is completely free to use!

However, it does take a long time to make the various materials and resources, and hosting the site actually costs me money. I'm not complaining - I enjoy sharing things I make and hope they help you. However, with traffic to the site being so high, the maintenance costs are quite significant. 

If you find the site and the resources useful, you are welcome to make a small donation via 'Buy me a coffee'. All the money goes into running the site, and buying the tools, software and materials I need to continue making content. 

Don't worry if you can't donate anything, or don't want to! You are still welcome to use this site and any materials. :)

Want to get in touch?

I'd love to hear from you. Whether you want to tell me about a mistake you have found in something (especially typos, which I make all the time!), or something you would like to see added to the site. 

Teachers can email me for the password to various sections. However, only supporters through 'Buy Me a Coffee' will have access to certain parts.

Please use your work email so I know it is from a teacher and not a pupil! :)

Design & Manufacture icon

Design & Manufacture

Design and Manufacture is a course designed for people interested in designing the products or services of the future.

You will learn about the design process and how this is used to solve complex problems. A blend of developing both practical skills and design-thinking will see you use different materials, machines and processes to create the products of the future.

Graphic Communication icon

Graphic Communication

Everybody uses graphics.
​
From watching TV and playing video games, to architects and advertisers, graphics are the backbone of the modern world.

You will learn about Computer Aided Design (CAD), engineering drawing, 3D printing, visualisation and animation through to graphic design, vector art, photography, desktop publishing and professional printing.

Engineering Science icon

Engineering Science

Engineering Science challenges you to discover the world of mechanics, structures, electronics, pneumatics and computer control.

You will learn how products and structures actually work and how designers and engineers use technology to solve problems - from simple traffics lights, to controlling the speed of motors for drones.

Practical Craft Skills icon

Practical Craft Skills

Stuff needs to be made and to make stuff properly, you need to have the knowledge of materials and tools and the skills to use them properly.

Every good designer or engineer should have experienced what it is like to make something.

In craft courses, you will learn the professional techniques to fashion materials into products.
